[VM DAY] State of the Voynich 2024

[Emma May Smith]

If everyone has a different interpretation, the results will be meaningless:

Emma May Smith's no opinion = 0%

pedestrian's no opinion = 50-75%

my no opinion = 50%

I assume that most people will gravitate towards 50% when they don't have an opinion either way. So in this case, Emma's use of 0% as "no opinion" is an outlier. And if pedestrian goes over 50%, it means he's more likely to agree than to disagree. I don't think it will have too much of an impact, especially since this is meant as a "for fun" segment and not a peer reviewed publication.

For the two instances where I've stated "no opinion", I'm happy for you to interpret or change the figure according to whatever you think best. If that means taking them as 50%, then do so.
